The equation of the tangent to the curve...

The equation of the tangent to the curve `y=4xe^(x)` at `(-1,(-4)/e)` is

A

`y=-1`

B

`y=-(4)/(e)`

C

`x=-1`

D

` x=(-4)/(e)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Given curve is `y=4xe^(x)`
`(dy)/(dx)=4e^(x)+4xe^(x)`
At `(-1,-(4)/(e))((dy)/(dx))_((-1,-4//e))=4e^(-1)+4(-1)e^(-1)=0`
`:.` Equation of tangent is
`(y+(4)/(e))=0(x+1)`
`implies y=-(4)/(e)`
